2. Web 2.0
Web 2.0 describes the new emerging Internet technologies.
The second phase of development of the World Wide
Web.
Examples include blogging, social bookmarking,
podcasting, and photo sharing communities.
Web 2.0 technologies promote the grassroots sharing of
information.
Users are able to look to their peers and community
members for ideas, facts, visions, and opinions.
Users no longer have to rely on big publishers, news
corporations, and successful artists and writers to provide
them with information and entertainment needs.

4. Library 2.0
Library 2.0 is a concept of a very different
library service, geared towards the needs and
expectations of today’s library users.
In this vision, the library makes information
available wherever and whenever the user
requires and seeks to ensure that barriers to
use and reuse are removed.
5. Library 2.0 – four elements:
It is user-centred: New information is created via collaboration. Users
participate in the creation of the content and services they view within the
library's web-presence, OPAC, etc. The consumption and creation of content is
dynamic, and thus the roles of librarian and user are not always clear.
provides a multi-media experience: Both the collections and services
It
of Library 2.0 contain video and audio components.
is socially rich: There is social interaction - the library's web-presence
It
includes users' presences. There are both synchronous (e.g. Instant messaging
IM) and asynchronous (e.g. wikis) ways for users to communicate with one
another and with librarians.
is communally innovative: This is perhaps the single most important
It
aspect of Library 2.0. It rests on the foundation of libraries as a community
service, but understands that as communities change, libraries must not only
change with them, they must allow users to change the library.
6. Blogs (web logs)
are part of a website set aside specifically for regular author
comments and entries. This is often daily or weekly. They can also include
images or video and links to other sites. Visitors are encouraged to interact
and leave their own comments, feedback and links. Blogs are a way for
authors to reflect on life or daily business and can become like an online
diary or soapbox. Examples include:
https://www.blogger.com/
http://wordpress.com/
Mosman library blog - http://blogs.mosman.nsw.gov.au/library/
Ultimo TAFE Library Blog - http://sydneyinstituteonline.net/uclibrary/
Aussie Library Blogs - http://librariesinteract.info/australian-library-blogs/
Swinburne Library Blog - http://blogs.swinburne.edu.au/library/
7. Microblogs
Microblogs are typically smaller and more regular then
traditional blogs.
They are limited to short sentences to a maximum of 140
characters.
You can also add images, video links and URL’s.
As well as being displayed in a web interface, postings can be
forwarded to SMS or email.
Examples include:
http://twitter.com/
http://www.tumblr.com/
Australian Parliamentary Library'

8. Music sharing
Music sharing sites specifically allow musicians
to share their own works with
the public. Musicians who have not been signed
with a record company have
an outlet to publish and sell their own original
works to millions of people
daily. Some of these sites feature creative
remixes and mash-ups. Examples
include:
http://ccmixter.org/
http://grooveshark.com/
9. Photo/image
Photo/image sharing sites allows users to post
photography, video and
personal artworks. It allows people to exhibit their own
work and comment on
the works of others. Works are categorised and tagged to
enable efficient
searching and linking. Examples include:
http://flickr.com/
State Library of New South Wales collection's photostream

10. RSS feeds
RSS feeds This is special software which is used for delivering regularly
changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online
publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
The RSS reader can be web based or available through email clients like
Outlook. Information is delivered to you rather than you going to the websites.
It’s a quick and timesaving way for keeping up to date with information.

11. Social bookmarking
Social bookmarking sites allow users to store references to other
sites by creating and organizing bookmarks, similar to storing
favourite sites in your web browser software but accessible from
any web enabled computer.
Descriptions can be added to these bookmarks, including
comments and voting.
This is called social tagging where links are made between shared
content.
These sites can include highlighting tools and sticky notes. Sites
can be made public or private. Examples include:
http://www.delicious.com/
12. Social networks
Social networks are web sites that focus on building relationships
between
people with shared interests and/or activities. There are many tools
offered
by these sites to locate and link to families and friends, share photos,
promote events and keep in touch with regular updates and postings.
Examples include:
National library of Australia
https://www.facebook.com/National.Library.of.Australia
13. Social news
Social news sites allow users to submit news items and
stories on a particular
subject from elsewhere on the web. Stories are ranked
based on the number
of submissions and then listed on the news site. Site users
can then post
comments and feedback on the stories, popularity then
moves the news item
higher on the list. Examples include:
http://digg.com/
http://www.reddit.com/
14. Video sharing
Video sharing sites specifically allow for the uploading, viewing and sharing
of video content. User-generated content can include movie clips, TV clips,
music videos, video blogging and short amateur videos. Content is publically
available to viewers and can also be embedded into web pages outside of the
hosting site. Examples include:
http://www.youtube.com/

15. Virtual worlds
Virtual worlds, or virtual hangouts, are online 3D communities
where people can “virtually” walk around and interact with each
other. Users create an online person called an avatar which is a
3D character that represents their own personality. Avatars can
meet, socialise, buy and sell with virtual services and property.
Many businesses and training organisations create virtual spaces
to connect with potential customers. Examples include:
http://secondlife.com/
http://www.smallworlds.com/
Virtual library opens in Second Life

16. Wikis
Wikis are websites that can be created and modified by
anyone using simple text editing tools through the web
browser software. These are great to allow multiple people
to collaborate and work on the same project from
anywhere at any time. Different access rights can be
granted to users to create, edit and delete information. The
site can be made public or private. Examples:
http://www.wetpaint.com/
http://www.wikispaces.com/
